Dorsey vs Pioli, What Say You Now?

[Meatloaf]

It's been a rather interesting couple of weeks. I think it started with the Houston situation where a bunch of you folks felt that Dorsey was a doofus because he didn't lock Houston up last year. Then, I heard, Dorsey sucked because he overpaid Bowe. Then, at least initially, the sky was falling because he didn't wrap up Hudson last year. Then, he had the audacity to sign Mauga and Avant.

Now, we hear that guys are cutting their salaries in order to play for (can you believe it) the Chiefs!

Wasn't much of that happening back when Scooter was chasing candy wrappers, shutting blinds and placing the entire organization on Matt Cassel's rather narrow shoulders.

So, I ask, what say you now? (This is where you can actually say GOOD things about the guys running this outfit now.)

You'll find no bigger fan of Jeremy Maclin than me. If the search function on here worked you could find posts of me advocating for the Chiefs drafting him at #3 overall in 2009, but I remain unconvinced that Alex Smith can make use of his talent.

I'm also seriously concerned about the continued decline of the offensive line, and I think that people are foolishly conflating our pass ranking with great secondary play when most of it, I believe, was due to the pressure exerted on the QB by Hali, Poe, and Houston.

His #1 draft pick was acknowledged by just about everyone as the highest rated guy in that draft. He did meh at RT and then got hurt to where he couldn't work out much. Granted, his play at LT was worse than meh. BUT, you've gotta admit it's still a bit early to write him off as Brian Joswiak (nice recall BTW).

As per Dee Ford, well, again, it's early, but I'd agree that early indications are well, not super good. NONETHELESS, I doubt that you, in your wisest moment, would suggest that after a couple of drafts Dorsey is horrible at it. Just WAY too early.

As per signing Houston/Hudson, good heavens, it takes someone to agree to stuff to get a contract done. Looks to me like the H&H boys came prepared to try the free agent market. Hard to blame Dorsey on that.

Oh well, I kinda like Dorsey (Lord knows he's WAY better than what we had). Apparently, you're not a fan. I guess we'll just have to agree to my way of thinking!

Next offseason we'll have our first opportunity to really sit down and appraise his talent. Drafts, team building, contract structuring etc. It takes time to take a 2-14 team (with 6 or 8 pro-bowlers) anywhere.

How is this even a question?


Pioli is a ****ing piece of shit.

It takes time?

He turned around the team and culture immediately

He didn't turn around the team. GTFO he turned the culture for sure. Those pro bowlers started playing again. That 2-14 team was the most talented "worst" team in NFL history.

Floppy, Floppy, Floppy, you're taking this stupid question way too literally. The point of the thread was to allow some of you boys to actually say something good about Dorsey. Perhaps I, in a most unusual moment, misstated the title of the thread and that generated said stupid comments. So rip me a new one.

Nonetheless, I forgive.

Now, let's move on and be thankful that we have Mr Mediocre (your words?) running this thing rather than Scooter.

Good enough for me. Dorsey has done some great things since coming here. JC extension being up there. Who finds role players off of scrap heaps better? I can go on. I've been impressed with numerous things he's done. Have always said so!

No. They're not my words. I never said he was mediocre. I just said Pioli was complete shit. He still has plenty to prove.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Pioli was most of people Here's pick. Dorsey was too. I've never beat Clark up for that. He's trying!

[Rausch]

I don't see them as being related.

The only thing that matters is the job Dorsey is doing/has done.

This offseason:
1) Turds have been cut.
2) Contracts restructured.
3) Only true loss is Hudson.
4) Actually added a significant talent in FA.

So far, so good. When FA is over and it's draft time we'll be better able to grade the 1st 1/3rd of his job...

[ChiefsCountry]

Both are 0-1 in the only thing that matters.

You clearly don't have a clue how free agency is supposed to work if you think that

I get that. But like i mentioned earlier, Dorsey turned the culture around. Eventually, That will lead to more wins and playoff wins especially. I expect this team to compete for the playoffs every year now. I never got that feeling under Pioli, except for one year.
